cordjthrough the for-es from the logging engine to the station from which the logs are being conveyed.

Difliculty has been experienced in providing a support for the Whistle cord that may be driven readily into the trees without risk of injury to the open ring through which the is od.

The invenu is particularly described in the following SPx'EClfiCZtlllOIl, reference being made to the drawings by which it is accompanied, in which:

Figure l is a elevation, and Fig. 2, a plan of the support. The device consists of two parts Which distinct in the services required. from although permanently connected to- Cthe securing spike which is driven cc, and the open. ring secured to VTJlCll the whistle cord is passed v on it is supported and retained in these drawings 2 represents the head of spike, which is preferably forged from bur ron and is flattened, as at 3, to otter us it spear point so that it may be with. e. minimum of resistance into a ito upper. edge of the head 2 adjato the speer head 3, one end i of an 5, preferably of quarter inch round iron, is inserted into a hole drilled for it secured therein by punching the metal with s set, as at 6, closing the n e tightly against the inserted end. This 1S bent backward toward. the head of ilre heat: 2 and 1S thereafter curved me e s'pirul circle the free end 7 tziched to trees for the conveyance of the being laterally bent away from the secured end so as to leave a, space between, through which the Whistle cord may be passed into the ring. This bending of the ring back- Ward upon the head 2 of the spike is advantageous in that the ring is supported against bending under the inertia of e blow deliveredon the heed ot' the spike. The head of the spike inziy have a hole 8 drilled through. it by which the articles may be strung on a wire for convenience min porter bility.

A simple and inexpensive device is thus furnished, which is efi'ective for the purpose for which it has been designed: The flatness of the point of the spike and the fact that it is'in directalinement with the head, en-

ables the spike to be driven easily into the wood lengthwise of the grain and the in2tnner in which the line carrying ring is secured to and supported by the head to sustain the driving blow thereon .ere features of in].-

portence, which rendena the device particularly serviceable in the attainment of the object for which it is intended.

Having now particularly described my invention and the manner of its use I hereby declare that what I claim 21S new and desire to be protected in by Letters Patent, is:

A signal line support, comprising a spike member the cross section of the head of which is a :verticully elongated rectangle. said spike member being toward one end flattened out to thin edges and to a point. and an open ring secured in an aperture in the upper edge of the head and adjacent to the spear point, the body of the ring being bent backward from the attachment and thereafter bent round and spirally curved laterally.

In testimony whereof l'. have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
